If a dude is a CB he’s eligible to play CB. If a dude is an offensive tackle he’s NOT eligible to play offensive guard. If a dudes a CB he’s NOT eligible to play S. I do not feel as though people share my interpretation even though this is the standard of fantasy leagues everywhere So let's say there is an injury and my starting RG is inactive. Let's say I had one OL on my bench and he was an OT. Would you say he was ineligible to play OG? Or can he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whicker Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I don’t understand how my interpretation involves disparity whereas “whatever I think this guy is capable of” doesn’t. One of the many reasons I should just walk because I know no one agrees with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with playing an OG at OT, LT at RT, Cb at S, etc. I think our disagreement comes on how much/if at all you account for a player having played that position previously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think it’s all case by case basis. I mean if you went back to college La’el Collins has played both T spots and even just his NFL tape RT and G. So if a guy starts him at G you ding him or go off what level of play he’s proven capable of. Or DBs like Jimmie Ward. I’m not saying we should be able to claim whatever we want. But for me it’s especially O-line where there has to be some flexibility. Teams only dress 7 lots in real world. Injuries happen. How about Vaitai as another example… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where it gets different for me I suppose. If I see a T at G I am not leaving it up to my own personal interpretation of whether or not he can play there. I’m just downgrading him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude can't track the ball deep and ends up grabbing and getting flagged. He's bad. Last year for sure. He definitely improved in that regard this year, especially towards the end of the season. He's a low-end no.1 CB but will be fine with mostly IRL no.2 WRs in this format. But anyway this post was more for bcb haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcb1213 Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 I think the position changes fall under the don't be a ****** category. If you're moving a tackle to guard be prepared for that player to not be looked at as favorably as they would be as a tackle due to the unknown factor. It's your roster do with it as you please but know there are folks that will downgrade it completely, some minorly and some not at all 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I wasn't aware that this was such a hot button topic. I was just going to pick and just go from there. Didn't know people were evaluating the teams and whatnot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slappy Mc Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Man people getting worked up about positional changes. This is the speculative portion of this CMD is going to get interesting. For my part, I will be reasonable in any "transition" players make. If you move a guard from left to right or a tackle from left to right or a defensive end from strong side to weak side or a SLB to WLB, I will give you the benefit of a doubt if it "makes sense." I have drafted someone "out of position" and I didn't think anything of it. Especially considering that is most likely the position he will play next year. If someone wants to "ding" me at that position for it, they can feel free. At the end of the day, most people won't see the true genius that people like Malf, Forge and myself has and that is more a reflection of you guys and not me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day, this is a good representation of where the other posters view players in relation to where I view them. It is very interesting to note some differences and similarities. I'm going to be honest, I didnt know a couple of the players that were drafted so far, like at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is Sebastian Joseph Day who has like an online cult following, maybe Michael Onwenu who was a really good rookie guard that played some right tackle year two I think but I think he got sent to the bench when everyone was healthy for some reason. Or maybe like Foye Oluokun because no one cares about Falcons defense or Mooney for same thing but Bears offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwAg Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Loaded up NFL 2K5 and it told me OL can play any position. It takes hubris to argue against a source as authoritative as that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
